I'm in the same boat as you, though I had it the past two years. I snoozed on this year's January release assuming there would be waves of it this year the way there was last year. (Several stores I frequent received a dozen cases of Hop Slam last March.) I wonder if Leo's still has some?

Enjoyed both 2012 and 2013 Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Barleywine -- main difference is that the new batch was aged on wood for a full year, v. the previous year's 6 months. The newer release tasted hotter, almost certainly both because of its freshness and the extended aging. Still loved both, as well as the fresh Central Water Peruvian Morning that I chased 'em with.
